    Have a look on the inside of the rims.

    These are my 20" L494 rims and show the offset as +47. You could get some wheels with less offset (from memory a variation of 10mm is legal) and the tyres will have clearance. So if a 5mm spacer works and your current wheels are 53mm, the 47mm wheels should be the same or 1mm better. The GOE Compomotives are 44mm.

    AFAIK your stock 20" rims will be 9.5" wide and the reason why the tyres foul whereas the same size on Disco 8.5" or possibly 8" rims don't foul.

    so do they really fit? who's running them and what did you do to get them fitted?
    My 08, TDV8 a recent acquisition. Came to me fitted with 22" 285 or ?295? and I have no issue with them. Except I don't like wheels this big. They are a Range Rover wheel, fit perfectly, do not rub and grip well. (Rims & tyres are only 3 months old? and I fear the cost of replacement rubber).

    watching this thread with great interest as I want to change my 275/40/20's over to something with more flexibility in tyre type. Those 265/50's look good, and am I correct to believe no rubbing on the standard RRS wheels???
